Loyalty to the Past Video (MV)

You and me, we started off much the same way
Heard something on the radio that made us think
But you flew fast for the freeway to find and follow fame
While I stayed after class, my nose all blotched with ink
But you found success, excess was waiting to make a mess of you
Did it hurt when you heard you were just the bait
To someone else's catchy hook?
Is that all it took?
Cuz now time is sweeping you away
Oh, I knew that it would happen someday
The earth keeps spinning but you seem so unaware
Of the changes that took you from here to there
The only world you see is through a broken looking glass
And a loyalty to the past
So you buy into your own mythology
Like some half-assed self-fulfilling prophecy
And keep churning out archaic formulaic hits each year
But tell me what's the point of living if you refuse to evolve?
Diffuse or dissolve, but you're scared you'll disappear
The earth keeps spinning but you seem so unaware
Of the changes that took you from here to there
The only world you see is through a broken looking glass
And a loyalty to the past
Did we distract you from your heated pool?
Have you fallen far enough to feel a f*cking fool?
Or are you still swimming in a sea of denial?
I'd say your twenty years of fame haven't aged you well
But will I fare the same? It's too early to tell
So I'll just face the mirror and force a smile
The world keeps spinning but you seem so unaware
Of the changes that took you from here to there
The only world you see is through a broken looking glass
And a loyalty to the past
